SUPPORT FOR ROBBINS AND THE LIKE.

Application filed November 18, 1920. Serial No. 421,939.

.- To all whom it ma cmwem.

Be it known that l, Gnmmzon Knnsrraw, a subject of the King of the United K1ngdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and resia dent of 62 Market Street, Whitworth, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Supports for Bobbins and the like, of which the following is a specification,

This invention relates to revoluble supports for holding yarn in creels of the kind in which the yarn to be warped or beamed in warping or beaming machines, are drawn ofi cops of yarn or ring frame bobbins or other bodies holding or formed.- of yarn mounted in groups or series on revoluble supports with the beginning of the thread or yarn of one connected to the end of the thread or yarn from another so that yarn may be drawn 011' these successively without stoppage of the warping or beamin and, also without stoppage of the warping or beaming, fresh bobbins cops or the like can be applied to take the place of those from which yarn has been drawn 01f.

The invention consists in revoluble supports ior use in the manner hereinbefore mentioned in creels of the aforesaid kind, which in comparison with those hitherto provided afford the advantages that they are stronger and less liable to breakage, lighter,

better balanced, more easily and cheaply manufactured and can besubmitted to any necessary or desirable adjustment byben ing or straining or like methods more easily and with less danger of breakage than those hitherto provided.

According to this invention in order to attain these advantages in the formation of supports for use as aforesaid, basal parts for carrying pegs for supporting bobbins or the like are formed of stamped or pressed metallic plate or sheet and pegs for attachment to so formed basal parts for holding bobbins or the like thereon are formed in tubular metallic pegs shaped for easy, simple and secure attachment to the basal parts.

' In the accompanying drawin Fig. 1 is partly a side elevation and part y a vertical section, Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 is an oblique section of a revoluble. support with a basal part of one form and furnished with pegs attached to it in one way, Figs. 4 and 5 are vertical sections of portions of basal parts with pe attached in other ways. The lines 1, 1, an 3, 8, of Fig. 2 indicate respectively the planes on which the sections 1n Figs. 1 and 3 are taken. The sections in Figs. 4 and 5 are taken on planes analogous to the plane on which the section in Fig. 1. s taken. The same numerals of reference indicate corrtsponding parts in different figures.

The basal part 7 shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is in the form of a central disc 8 with three arms 9 extendin in a curved form away from and out of t e plane of the central part 8 and is stiffened by means of a flange 10 at the edge extending around the circumference and also by a depression 11 being formed in the central parts of the arins 9 and is provided at the central part with an orifice 12 surrounded by a downwardly projecting flange 13, on the one, namely, the downward face to form a bearing for a collar 14 fixed by a set screw 15 in a rail 16 so as to serve as a pivot for the holder. Each arm 9 is provided near its outer end with an upwardly directed circular flange forming a projection 17. The basal part 7 is shaped into the form described by stamping or pnssing, and if there be occasion, any auxiliary or supplementary operation necessary or convenient. The three pegs 18 carried by the basal part 7 are formed of metal drawn or otherwise shaped into taper tubes and provided at their lower ends with internal sockets 19 and surrounding flanges 20 which are applied respectively around the projections 17 and to the parts of the to upper face of the basal part 7 surrounding the projections 17. The pegs 18 when applied around the projections 17 'on the basal part 7 are secured in position by brazing, soldering or electric or other welding.

Fig. 4 shows the outer end of one arm 21 of the basal portion of a revoluble support similar to that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 except in that a simple hole 22 is formed in it to receive a peg to be inserted and secured in it and shows a'metallic tubular taper peg. 23 secured in position in the hole 22 in the arm 21 of the basal part by being prepared with a shoulder 24 formed by stamping, expanding or any other method, 10$ around it just above the part 25 intended to be inserted in the hole 22 and after being inserted, expanded at its lower end so that another shoulder 26 is formed below the part 25 inserted in the hole 22 of the arm H6 21. The art 25 being prepared to fit closely in the ho e 22 and the shoulder 24 being applied closely against the up er surface of the arm ,21 the formation of t 1e shoulder 26 whichis caused to bear closely against the lower surface of the arm 21 secures the peg 23 firmly in position in the hole 22 and arm 21 without the use of any solder or brazin or other fastening material, though any suc 1 material may be applied in addition if desirable for greater security of the pegs in an case.

ig. 5 shows the outer end of one arm 27 of the basal portions of a revoluble support similar to that shown in Fig. 4 and with a hole 28 near the outer end of the arm 27 and a peg 29 formed of material moulded into shape secured in that arm 27. The peg 29 is moulded with a shoulder 30 formed as a rib around it just above the part 31 intended to be inserted in the hole 28. A collar 32 formed of any suitable material or metal or alloy is applied and secured by a pin 33 to the part 31 of the pe 29 after it has been inserted in the hole 28 so that the shoulder 30 and collar 32 bearing respectively against the upper and lower surfaces of the arm 27 and the part 31 being formed to fit tightly in the hole 28 the peg 29 is secured firmly in position in the arm 27.

The accompanying drawing shows examples only of this invention and the manner of carrying it into effect and consequently its essential nature and characteristics are set out. more completely in the description following According to this invention revoluble supports for use in creels as aforesaid are provided with basal parts of steel or other suitable metal or alloy in the form of plate or sheet, formed by stamping or pressing, and if there be occasion, any auxlliary or supplementary operation necessary or convenient, into plates which are in the form of a central disc or like part with two or more arms, usually three, extending in a curved form or inclined direction away from and out of the plane of the central part and are stifi'ened by means of flanges at the edges and also if desirable by the formation of ribs or depressions or elevations or the like in appropriate parts and are provided at the central parts, with orifices surrounded by flanges projecting on one face or the other to form bearings for studs or parts to serve as pivots or fixing means for the holders and are also provided with holes or with flanges, sleeves, collars or-sockets on one face or the other near the circumferences or the ends of the arms for other pegs for holding bobbins or the like to be carried on the revoluble or other supports, and such pegs may be secured in position in or on the basal parts in any suitable manner.

If pegs formed of brass or other metal or alloy are to be used they may be drawn or stamped or formed by die casting or otherwise made into tubular form and outwardly cylindrical or conical or shouldered at one place or more or of any shape corresponding in a suitable way with the bobbins or the like to be placed upon .them so that they may hold such bobbins or the like in any way requisite. The pegs may be rounded or of other like form and either closed or with a central orifice at one end and open at the other end or may be open at both ends as may be convenient, either for manufacture or for use.

Further according to this invention basal g parts formed in any manner hereinbefore described are furnished with tubular metallic pegs which are formed with shoulders by being expanded or by the walls being made thicker in parts or have cylindrical or other sleeves or sockets at the one end and are secured in the holes of or around or in the flanges, sleeves, collars or sockets pro Vided on such basal parts by being expanded in or shouldered above and below or compressed around them or brazed or soldered or electrically or otherwise welded to them or in any other way suitable.

Basal parts formed in any of the ways hereinbefore described for pegs to be a plied to them and provided with metal ic tubular pegs formed with shoulders or sleeves or sockets form parts of this invention and very advantageous ways of carrying it into eifect.
